Stripping back unnecessary packaging and misleading ingredients, The Ordinary offers an abundance of brilliant, high-performance products at eye-wideningly reasonable prices – and their Squalane Cleanser is no exception! Carefully formulated for all skin types, this clever potion dissolves make up and the day's dirt while simultaneously moisturising with a combination of squalane and other lipophilic esters.
This gentle cleanser is anything but ordinary, removing make up and impurities as it retains your skin's moisture – unlike some harsher cleansers, there's no need to worry about tightness after using this. Star of the show is squalane, a first-class hydrator that's found naturally in the skin, helping to prevent loss of moisture and boost suppleness. This combines with other lipophilic esters to dissolve make up and unwanted grime for clean and clog-free pores. The hard-working formula feels balm-like when first applied, changing to a clear oil-like texture when warmed into your skin – an important feat that allows emulsifying sucrose esters to capture the dissolved make up and dirt and rinse them away. Free from soap, which can cause irritation or 'strip' the skin, this crowd-pleasing cleanser respects your complexion's natural epidermal lipids, making it suitable for all skin types – even sensitive ones.

A great oil based cleanser
I love this cleanser and the formula is so easy to use and apply. It would be great as the first step in double cleansing as it is oil-based so gets right into the dirt and grime. I have oily skin and it doesn’t leave the face feeling oily after and my skin feels refreshed. Only giving 4 out of 5 as haven’t tried it with makeup yet so not sure how good it would be but so far so good

Amazing
I love this cleanser, when I first used it alongside some other ordinary products I broke out a small bit for about a day or two, but after continuously using it, it has helped my skin so much. I have never really had a skincare routine, but have started to develop one using the ordinary products and this cleanser is by far my fave cleanser ever, it makes me so happy with how much it’s helped clean up my skin and it makes it smooth. I use it every day and feel so confident in my skin now and going out without makeup. I do have to say that I find the bottle a bit small as I’m close to running out already after about 2 weeks but I think that’s my fault as I didn’t really know how much to use

Very gentle
This is a great cleanser and it's not overly stripping, a bit too small and doesn't remove foundation well but great when not wearing any makeup!

miracle cleanser for my skin
I’ve always struggled with sensitive skin, usually leading to breakouts. I’ve been using this product for just a week and the difference in my skin is incredible. I began using the cleanser with a breakout of whiteheads and large pores, I also have VERY oily skin. This product has helped to clear my skin; i still have the odd spot but nothing near how bad it was. My pores are less noticeable and it has helped significantly reduce the amount of oil on my face. Thank you so much!

Very gentle
I really love this cleanser. I have very sensitive skin that reacts to most skincare products by breaking out with whiteheads. I bought this to be my first cleanser with the idea in mind that I would have to use a second cleanser afterwards to make sure this didn't block my pores, but have found that it is so gentle and non-clogging that I don't need to double cleanse after using this - a huge win! My skin has cleared right up, my sebaceous filaments have become soooo much smoother and smaller, and its just a lovely feel on the face. Does a very thorough job. One downside is the size of the bottle though!! I go through one in about 3 weeks, so feels like a lot of waste is being produced by throwing out packaging that often.

Perfect cleanser
I love everything about this cleanser - it's so hydrating and cleansing and feels great on the skin without drying it out or leaving a tight feeling, unlike some other cleansers. Its also super soft and gentle on your skin and doesn't hurt your eyes at all - will definitely purchase this product again!

Perfect for day with less makeup
I barely wear makeup (mascara, brows, camo drops from Dr Jart) but do wear sunscreen and have dry skin, so I usually lean towards a balm but I hate using those and this is perfect and thick, makes me feel like I don't need to double cleanse and also is really hydrating and my skin doesn't feel irritated or dry (I'm prone to redness and eczema). So if you'rr a ‘cake it on’ kinda gal maybe not really for you, but if you're like me, I’d really give it a try!

Sadly Disappointed
I was really disappointed with this product mainly because of the amount needed to wash face properly. I don’t think I wear that much on my face but felt I needed to use quite a lot to feel satisfied my face was clean - so afraid I will not rebuy as it is just not worth it . A rather over hyped product in my humble opinion .

Lovely
I really like the texture of this cleanser, it’s very silky. I think it’s easy to think you need more than you do and it doesn’t go far but you don’t need more than a pea size. It doesn’t make my skin feel dry after using like a lot of cleansers. I gave the product 4 stars not 5 just because it’s only 50ml and I feel like I’m going to need a new one in a few weeks which isn’t ideal when I use it twice a day, every day and the more of these I buy in a short space of time is more plastic waste in the oceans!!! Should be at least 100ml, 200ml would be best. I’m 26 and have dry skin.
